First Post

This is the first post to the Discarded Lies blog. This blog will enlighten you. It will surprise you. It might even enrage you. I do not post here to debate grammar or spelling. I will try to keep both correct to the best of my ability's. I do post here to to bring the people of not only America but the world the knowledge that the United states of America is failing. We are in the death throws of a once glorious super power that has given to much power to only a few people. We have given our human rights, not American, but human rights to not live in fear, to not send our sons and daughters to war, to not be held hostage by big corporations.

The name discarded lies comes from a speech given by Mr George W. Bush before a joint session of congress. The passage that I took this from reads,
"These terrorists kill not merely to end lives but to disrupt and end a way of life. With every atrocity they hope that America grows fearful, retreating from the world and forsaking our friends. They stand against us because we stand in their way. We're not deceived by their pretenses to piety. We have seen their kind before. They are the heirs of all the murderous ideologies of the 20th century. By sacrificing human life to serve their radical visions, by abandoning every value except the will to power, they follow in the path of fascism, Nazism and totalitarianism. And they will follow that path all the way to where it ends: in history's unmarked grave of discarded lies."

We are the ones sacrificing lives for a lie Mr. Bush. Do you even remember why we went there? WMD's I believe is what you said. How many did we find ? none. but we found aluminum tubes which could have been used to weaponize uranium, or purify explosives, or make a swing set or to carry water, or to build a giant cow flinging catapult (cowapult?). So with no real weapons we did a giant bait and switch. well we were there for the aluminum tubes but now we see a humanitarian crises and thats a much better reason. I agree, human suffering must be stopped. but to invade a country, wander over all sorts of private land with giant tanks, evacuate thousands of civilians from city's all for a false reason and then expect the people who live in that country to role out the welcome mats is absurd. We are fighting and dieing and paying for a war that was based on a lie. Ahh yes the money.... your vise presidents company sure is doing well.... its really to bad that in all the rush to invade a country under false pretenses so that the nation who is paying for it does not find out we did not have a chance to go with the lowest biding contractor for military supplies. Nope the task of getting the supplies and the supplie trucks and the food and all of the clothing all went to haliburton.... but wait haliburton could not provide our solders with effective body armor? Was the profit margin on armor not as good as the 26 doller per piece lunch trays we sent over there ?

But, I am getting ahead of myself. I will return soon to spout more about health care, social security and the general state of our united states soon
